The Aesthetics of Agency: Ethnofiction Recast in Generative Design Research for Illuminating Tacit and Latent Knowledge on Care Identity and Lens-based Technologies

The Aesthetics of Agency: Ethnofiction Recast in Generative Design Research for Illuminating Tacit and Latent Knowledge on Care Identity and Lens-based Technologies

Morrison, John ;

Full paper:

This paper addresses gaps in understanding concerning the process and practice of knowledge and theory development in generative design research. Drawing on feminist scholarship, the research explores agential relationships between young people with lived experiences of care and lens-based technologies. The theoretical position was inspired by the habits of mind of filmmaker Jean Rouch. The paper foregrounds the trauma-informed research design and resulting digital artefacts towards developing a novel generative framework. The artefacts were co-created during trauma-informed Research through Design workshops with the care experienced young people. The collaborative workshops enacted generative design research techniques as relational ways of being and knowing at the intersections of Applied Theatre and Human-Computer Interaction. This syncretism elicited novel somatic meaning-making modalities of experience with the participants and lens-based technologies. The outcomes provide an understanding of trauma-informed design research focusing on latent phenomena, expanding the repertoire of generative design research processes, practices, and theory.
